What is the Autoinjector, Pre-filled syringe used for in Hepatitis C, Chronic?

The Autoinjector, Pre-filled syringe is used for the administration of peginterferon alfa-2a (Pegasys) in patients with chronic Hepatitis C. It is an investigational delivery system being studied in a Phase 1 clinical trial to compare administration by autoinjector versus pre-filled syringe.

Who makes the Autoinjector, Pre-filled syringe?

Roche Holding AG (ticker: RHHBY) is developing the Autoinjector, Pre-filled syringe. The company is conducting a clinical trial to evaluate this delivery method for peginterferon alfa-2a in patients with chronic Hepatitis C.

What phase is the Autoinjector, Pre-filled syringe in?

The Autoinjector, Pre-filled syringe is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational product and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. The Phase 1 trial has been completed, with results not yet reported.

What clinical trials is the Autoinjector, Pre-filled syringe in?

The Autoinjector, Pre-filled syringe is associated with one completed clinical trial, NCT01087944, titled 'A Study of Administration of Peginterferon Alfa-2a [Pegasys] by Autoinjector Versus Pre-filled Syringe in Patients With Chronic Hepatitis C.' This Phase 1 trial enrolled 60 participants in the United States.

Is the Autoinjector, Pre-filled syringe the same as Pegasys?

The Autoinjector, Pre-filled syringe is a delivery device for peginterferon alfa-2a, which is marketed as Pegasys. The trial compares administration of Pegasys via autoinjector versus pre-filled syringe, but the device itself is not the drug.
